When I first began writing about wide receiver prospects, I was fascinated with the concept of WR age. Shawn Siegele wrote about it back in 2014, and then later expanded that to include breakout age, the age at which a WR prospect reached a 30% Dominator Rating during his college career. Jon Moore’s Phenom Index also had a major age component.
It has been obvious to anyone paying attention that WR age matters, and a great bit. It has been a major component of every prospect model I’ve created and has been a big reason to target a variety of players over the years.
